This Wilendur "Noel" tablecloth is one of my very favorite vintage Christmas linens. Last year I used the cloth for Christmas morning brunch with Retro Red Stripe Fiesta and Manhattan glassware.

I liked this tablescape so much that I used this shot for our Christmas card this year. When I bought the cloth, I was also thinking about how great it would look with marigold Fiesta. This year that vision came to fruition when we used the cloth for our traditional Christmas Eve turkey and dumplings served in the 75th anniversary marigold tureen.

This meal was also the tureen's first service on the tabletop, and I think it was a very fitting launch for this fine piece. Next year I think I need to use my Christmas tree glasses with this cloth.

About Me

I enjoy collecting dishes made by the Homer Laughlin China Company, especially the Art Deco Fiesta, Harlequin and Riviera dinnerware lines. I'm always on the hunt for vintage tablecloths and other accessories to compliment my collection.
The background on my blog is gray to match my dining room walls. This lovely neutral shade showcases the colorware on my table. The other colors used on my blog reflect some of my very favorite pottery glazes: chartreuse, Harlequin yellow and scarlet.
If you like my tabletop or have questions, please leave a comment and I'll reply to you.
